Independence Day = a day late ~ but it's only a day

Dear Family,

So  yesterday was Independence Day so they had us work instead of take it off because a lot of people had the day off so it was a good way to get to visit a lot of people and also keep us out of trouble and not be tempted by the advasary himself! Sorry I do apologize for that, but hey its only one day right???? 

first things first CONGRATS COLT on the antelope!!!!!!!! That is freaking awesome first one in the family to shoot one!!! That is freaking sweet and you must be getting better at shooting and better than me, cause I could never hit one to save my life!!!! (; I hope it was a blast and you are ready to go again when I get back! 

This week was kind of a crazy week, one because I am not sure what the Lord was thinking but I will be for sure going to changes to get a new companion but I will be here in the same area. How do I know already all this??? This past week I recieved a call and accepted the opportunity to be a trainer!! So that is pretty exciting, and nerve racking all at the same time! I feel a ton of pressure on my shoulders right now so my praying knees will be being used a lot more these coming months. So tomorrow I will be heading to changes meeting to bring him back here, so next week wait for pictures and info on the first week of that fun stuff!! 

This week I got to expiernce something like never before, so this past Saturday as I was saying my morning prayer, I was pleading for the help of the Lord to find a family because we just weren´t finding like I had hoped this week and with a new missionary coming I need to get him success so he can catch the spirit. But during my prayer, I could hear in the words, tenga paciencia me voy a bendicerle (have patience I will bless you) all day I kept thinking that. So when we went out to work that afternoon as we were walking we had the impression to go visit a reference that we had had for about a month now but when we went before he was never home. So we went anyways this time and he was standing the door way when we showed up. We presented ourselves and asked if we could share a message with him, we got to talking and he had a little girl who was one years old who died about 10 monthes ago in a car accidente with her uncle...he had so many questions where she was at? If they would ever see her again...so we had the great opportunity to teach the plan de salvacion to him and his wife. The spirit was so strong they both were in tears and we put another visit for this saturday!! It was incredible. So I can testify that Lord answers prayers, just have patience he does it on his time and in his own way!! En nombre de jesucristo amen.

Well family thanks for all that you all do for me and your love and support! 

I love you mom to the moon and back and then some!! I love you all so mucho, have a great week!!!! Thanks for pictures by the way you all look great!!!!! (: 

Con mucho amor.

I was able to chat with Wes for a few minutes as did his dad.  It was nice and Wes is in great spirits and truly loves the people of El Salvi and his testimony grows stronger each and every day.  I am so very thankful for modern technology so that I chat with him.  Wes of course told his brothers to date around and have fun in high school because all they will be doing is spending their money on someone elses wife.  :)  I was quick to point out that he didn't feel that way not too long ago.  :)  love my boys!
